This type nightstand will easily fit in with a traditional style. Or does your bedroom have more of a modern, contemporary look? If this is the case then you want to go with a nightstand that will reflect that look. You don't want a nightstand that overpowers the room. After all a nightstand should not be the focal point of your room. It's there mainly for storage so it should blend in with the rest of the furniture in your bedroom. You want your bedroom furniture to look like a cohesive set. Therefore it's important to choose a nightstand that doesn't stick out.

There are also nightstands that are sleek. These are usually the ones that are made of metal and plastic, though there are modern nightstands made from wood or wicker. The point is, these modern furniture pieces come in all sorts of colors to cater to individual tastes. As such, you can get an orange nightstand to complement your orange themed room or you can get a black minimalist one for your simple modern bedroom. Furthermore, these nightstands can also have wheels for ease in moving or chrome fixtures for added beauty.

With the design of the nightstands decided, all that remains is to choose the other furnishings. If a television and DVD or blue-ray player are required, this can be handled by a media armoire opposite the bed or, more conveniently, by running cables from a bedside unit, under the floor covering to a wall mounted flat screen TV. Another solution would be install a television in a unit at the end of the bed and have it lift into place at the touch of a remote control. This is ideal in larger bedrooms, leaving the wall opposite the bed free for a romantic fireplace.
